Raff's Brain
Raff’s Brain is my playground for goofy stories, real-life adventures, and experiments in how openness, creativity, and technology can bring people together and improve our lives. Expect Hot Yoga Problems, Riffin’ with Raff, Drive & Jive / Walk & Talk, and various zany side projects that are sometimes cathartic, sometimes ridiculous, and hopefully worth your time.

Raff's Brain #156: Riffin' with Raff - FITNESS AT 50 - Fat Loss, Party Wrecks, & Biznass Dreams!
In the latest installment of Riffin’ with Raff: Fitness at 50, Rob Raffety is pushing through holiday distractions and weight plateaus — while Zach Lawson, personal trainer and cousin first removed extraordinaire, recovers from a company party gone sideways.
Together, they reflect on fitness wins, holiday hurdles, and the entrepreneurial spark that might turn Zach’s training side hustle into a scalable online business in 2026. Plus: what’s the deal with peptides, Fitbit accountability, and training the average American (spoiler: Rob is the average American).
Heartfelt, honest, and packed with practical insights — this one’s got it all.
